Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens, S. serrulatta, S. serrullatum) comes from the ripe berries of a small palm and is best used as a tincture or fluid extract. It is one of the most well-known and time-honored herbs for prostate problems and it also has a long history as a tonic to help increase male potency, calm the nervous system, aid digestion and build connective tissue.
There are many products available over the counter for treating an enlarged prostate. Any of today’s products should contain saw palmetto along with an array of other supportive nutrients.
